[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 217580, member: 23"] Now this is exciting. I had no idea there was additional footage of the[I] Jaws 2[/I] shark attacking Terri the water skier. [MEDIA=youtube]LCrpasACRl0[/MEDIA] It's especially good to see more of the animatronic shark before it became The Phantom Of The Opera with those ridiculous burns. In the end, the animatronic wasn't used at all for the sequence. It cut from the towed fin to stock footage of a Great White's mouth about to bite down (re-used in [I]Jaws 3[/I]) and Terri just kind of fell over with a squeak. My guess is that they couldn't get the shark to do what they wanted, though I think that last part with the shark pulling her under twice would have been fine once edited properly in and scored well. It looks a lot better than some of the animatronics that ended up in the finished film. Whatever the reason, it's a shame it wasn't used. [/QUOTE]
